subject: Polaroid Sunglasses- What They Bring To The Table [print this page] Polaroid sunglasses date back to the World War era when soldiers needed to protect their eyes from the harsh suns. This piece here is dedicated to everything polaroid; read on to know more about this handy accessory...
A little about polarization and its effect on our eyes. Visible light waves from the sun, when scattered to meet a horizontal surface, like a road or water, gets reflected, resulting in horizontal polarization. This horizontally-polarized light is seen as white glare, and masks light that is useful to the human eye, reducing visibility. By using a sheet of vertical polarizing material, the horizontally-polarized component can be significantly reduced, lessening the overall light level reaching the eye. This improves contrast, and thus perception of the scene. Edwin Land, of Connecticut, invented Polaroid, the world's first polarizing material for commercial use, in 1929. He also founded the Polaroid Corporation in 1937 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
There are many fine polaroid sunglasses in the market today, including those by top brands like Ray Ban, Polaroid, Miami Blues, Sunmate, etc. I bought two pairs of sunglasses for my husband and me the other day. I got the Miami Blues maroon-brown sunglasses having squarish brown lenses and a thick plastic frame with crystal embellishments. Tailor-made for a dapper top and slim fit jeans, along with sandals, to wear to work on a Friday. My husband is over the moon about the the suave men"s Wayfarer sunglasses with brown tinted optical precision and impact resistant square lenses, and thick mahogany plastic frames. Best suited for a geeky yet sophisticated Friday workwear look with a solid color tee, stone washed denims, checkered muffler and high top sneakers. All said and done, that is in no way the end of it and I am going to get myself more such lovely pairs.
